It's that time of the month when new projects come and old projects go
So! After I settled down in Thailand for 2 months and spending 1 month buying new equipments and everything, here's what we have been working on in March

1. Dark Angles!
First up, here's a Dark Angel Land Raiders collection for Barry - 2nd batch and there's a Drop Pod coming from him soon. A lot of fun weathering this project and it made me realize that I should paint more tanks because it's so much fun..

Masking the cream-coloured parts with masking tape wasn't that fun, but the effort really paid off when the masking tape is peeled.

This project is completed and I'm waiting for the right moment to put it on youtube and upload pictures on facebook - so.... keep in touch!

Dave designed the logo for Nuke Arts and you guys should definitely check out his page - alot

of cool designs, tattoo and photography work.

Dave loves Ultramarines so I used one of my Space Hulk sarge and painted him to match Dave's preference... with the fragile bit cut off.

I don't like the GW ultramarine color that much as it's too.... toy-ish. So I mixed my own color up

building up from Vallejo Deep sea blue to GW ice blue. I prefer a lighter shade so the chipping effect can be more apparent.

This project is done and the photos are on my facebook page Nuke Arts :)

3. Just another Grey Knight project...

One of many.... I got 50 terminators and a handful of Purifiers waiting to be assembled

and the next batch coming in in April... Enough said

4. Inquisitor Lord

Not sure why I painted him.... I just wanted to haha....

For this project I used common household products leftover like a spray can's cap, milk straw, guitar string and insulating cork tile to construct the diorama.... this tells alot about my lifestyle, which consists of a lot of painting, drinking milk and whey protein, play guitar... the cork tile plays no role but yeah you got the idea!

5. Rusty Hood

I was invited to demonstrate 'chipping+rust' effect at Siam Moyim model club

and here's the pictures of the victims

6. Dreadfleet

They're quite a handful bunch of little ships and stuff... if I were to describe this project in one single phrase: Mind Breaker!

Usually I can sit down and paint for hours without being distracted. But with these little ships, with their tiny masts and windows... 1 hour of painting usually results in a protein shake + banana break.

Did you know: protein shake and banana can cure depression (so could many other things)

7. Scary looking base

A really awesome sculpting work from our artist: Long Hair Guy.

He will be our team's sculptor responsible for custom bases, custom parts and goodies

The project is more or less done, will upload the finished photos soon!

9. Horde - Throne of Everblight

A really epic piece for Chris from Battlefield Bangkok

As someone who's never done a model from Privateer Press before, I was amazed at the quality of the resin: Solid, yet really easy to cut and scrape and virtually NO bubbles (okay, some, but like... 3-4 large ones in total.... for a large model like this it's really impressive)

Fitting for the resin parts is awesome. The resin / metal fitting requires quite a bit of pinning and putty work, but because the quality of the mould is just supreme, it didn't take me long to put this thing together at all.

The only problem is that one of the throne parts is either broken or miscasted when I opened the box, but not a problem as I will make it look like it's been damaged in the battle with the brave leopard mounted scout.
